WARNING

Read the instructions carefully before use. We

recommend that you consult your insulin pump

manual for information regarding pump therapy.

• When using the infusion set for the ﬁrst time,

your doctor or healthcare team must be present.

•

This device remains sterile until the package is

opened or becomes damaged. Do not use if the

sterile package has been opened or damaged.

•

Protect the product from excessive humidity,

sunlight and heat. Store at room temperature.

•

Dispose of your infusion set after use according

to local regulations. Do not clean or re-sterilize.

• The infusion set is for subcutaneous use only.

•

Always screw the luer-lock connector ﬁrmly into

the pump adapter. If this is not done, a loose

connection between the infusion set and the

pump could cause leakage. Avoid using tools

to screw the luer-lock connector into place,

otherwise damage could result to the luer-lock

connector.

•

Do not leave air bubbles in the infusion set.

Prime carefully.

•

A small percentage of the Accu-Chek

Ultraﬂex infusion sets using soft cannulas can

accidentally become crimped during insertion or

displaced while in use. If this should occur, use

a new infusion set immediately.

•

Check the infusion site frequently to make

sure the soft cannula remains ﬁrmly in place.

5

en

Because the cannula is so soft, you will not

notice any pain if it is pulled out. The soft

cannula must always be completely inserted

in order to receive the full amount of insulin.

Replace the infusion set as soon as the self-

adhesive loosens.

• Do not reinsert the introducer needle into the

soft cannula. Reinsertion could cause tearing

of the soft cannula which would result in

unpredictable insulin delivery.

•

If you have to disconnect your infusion set, pay

particular attention to hygiene.

•

Never use a soft cannula for more than 72 hours

(3 days). Never use the tubing for more than

6days. When changing the cartridge, make

sure that the transfer set is completely primed

before connecting it to the head set.

• lf the infusion site becomes inﬂamed, replace

your infusion set and use a new site.

•

Do not put disinfectants, perfumes, deodorants

or insect repellent on your infusion set as these

may aect the integrity of the infusion set.

•

Never prime the transfer set or attempt to free a

clogged line while the transfer set is connected

to the head set. You may accidentally infuse an

uncontrolled quantity of insulin.

•

Avoid mechanical stress on the infusion site and

on the infusion set. Pay attention when carrying

heavy weights.

•

Before inserting the infusion set, prepare the

6

infusion site in accordance with the instructions

of your healthcare professional.

•

Check your blood glucose level 1 to 3 hours

after inserting your infusion set and inspect the

infusion site on a regular basis. Do not insert a

new soft cannula just prior to bedtime. Check

your blood glucose frequently (check with your

healthcare professional).

•

Check your infusion set at the luer-lock

connector to tube connection periodically (every

3 hours during the day and before going to

sleep) during use. A break may result in leakage,

causing interruption of insulin delivery. If you

notice a break, change your infusion set

immediately and check your blood glucose.

•

lf there is an unexplained increase in your blood

glucose level, causing it to be too high, or if an

“occlusion” alarm occurs, check for clogs and

leaks. lf in doubt, change your infusion set.

•

This product contains small parts. There is a

risk of suocation if small parts (e.g. covers,

caps or similar objects) are swallowed.

• Pay attention to the tubing of the infusion set

connected to your body. There is a risk of

strangulation if the tubing becomes wrapped

around your neck. In case of doubt, use the

shortest tubing length to minimise the risk of

strangulation.

Insert the infusion set

Picture 1

Choose a site away from the waistline, bones,

scar tissue, belly button and recent infusion si-

tes. Wash your hands and clean the infusion site

according to the instructions from your health-

care professional. Allow the infusion site to dry

before the soft cannula is inserted.

Picture 2

While holding the infusion set at the blue holder

cap (M) with thumb and foreﬁnger, remove the

transparent protective cover (B) by turning and

pulling. Keep the protective cover for later use in

order to safely dispose of the introducer needle

(C).

Picture 3

Remove both pieces of the adhesive backing (E)

from the self-adhesive (F).

Picture 4

Pinch the subcutaneous tissue. Insert the introducer

needle (C) and soft cannula (D) quickly and straight

into the infusion site, at a 90° angle. Watch the

soft cannula while inserting to assure that it goes

in smoothly without kinking or crimping.

8

WARNING

Ensure clean application. Do not touch the

soft cannula or introducer needle. Make sure

that the soft cannula is fully inserted into the

subcutaneous tissue and not kinked at the skin

surface.

Once the introducer needle punctures the skin,

the soft cannula must be quickly pushed in the

rest of the way, or it may kink upon insertion,

causing reduced or blocked insulin delivery.

Picture 5

Carefully smooth the self-adhesive (F) onto the

skin and run your ﬁngers over the self-adhesive

to ensure good contact with the skin.

Picture 6

Hold the self-adhesive (F) in place, gently press

the side clips of the blue holder cap (M) and pull

it from the cannula housing (G).

Picture 7

To remove the introducer needle (C) hold the can-

nula housing (G) ﬁrmly to your body. Place one

ﬁnger on the top of the cannula housing and with-

draw the introducer needle in a straight manner

using the introducer needle handle (A).

Remember to dispose of the introducer needle

(C) safely (needle container). Dispose of your

introducer needle according to local regulations.

9

en

The safest way to dispose of a used introducer

needle is to immediately place it in a sharps

disposal container to reduce the risk of accidental

pricks or injuries from loose sharps. If you cannot

ﬁnd a sharps disposal container right away, you

may need to recap the needle or use a needle

clipper until you have an opportunity to dispose of

sharps in an appropriate sharps disposal container.

Never throw away loose introducer needles and

other sharps in trash cans or recycling bins, and

never ﬂush them down the toilet.

Picture 8

Attach the luer-lock connector (K) to the pump

by screwing it ﬁrmly into the pump adapter. Fo-

llow the pump manufacturer’s User’s Manual to

prime the transfer set. Prime the transfer set un-

til insulin drips from the connector needle tip. Do

not leave air bubbles in either the cartridge or

the transfer set. Connect the transfer set to the

newly inserted head set and ﬁll the empty space

of the cannula housing with a bolus of 1.0 units

(U100 insulin).

WARNING

You must ﬁll the empty space of the newly

inserted head set after connecting the transfer

set. Failure to do so will result in missed insulin.

If the coupling does not click noticeably and

audibly together, use a new head set and a new

transfer set.

10

Priming volume of transfer set:

12"/ 30 cm: approx. 6 units* approx. 60 μl

24"/ 60 cm: approx. 11 units* approx. 110 μl

31"/ 80 cm: approx. 14 units* approx. 140 μl

43"/110 cm: approx. 18 units* approx. 180 μl

Priming volume of head set:

approx. 1.0 units* approx. 10 μl

*U100 Insulin

WARNING

Change the head set every 2 to 3 days (max.

72hours), otherwise you risk insulin resistance

or inﬂammation of the infusion site. Never use

the transfer set for more than 6 days.

Disconnect the infusion set

WARNING

Consult your healthcare professional on how to

compensate for any missed insulin while you

are disconnected. Carefully monitor your blood

glucose level while disconnected from the pump

and after you reconnect.

The infusion set allows you to temporarily

disconnect from your pump for showering,

swimming, etc., without changing it.

Hold the self-adhesive (F) in place, gently press

the side clips of the connector (I) and pull the

connector (H) from the cannula housing (G).

11

en

Put the disconnect cover (L) on the cannula

housing.

Reconnect the infusion set

WARNING

Before reconnecting, ensure that a drop of insulin

appears at the tip of the connector needle.

Prime the infusion set until insulin comes out of

the connector needle.

Hold the self-adhesive (F) in place and remove

the disconnect cover (L) from the cannula housing

(G). Re-attach the connector (H) to the cannula

housing. An audible “click” ensures the connector

is locked.

WARNING

It is not necessary to give an additional bolus.
